the Public Works building. He said that it is a built in desk that was performed by a
local contractor.
Council Member Bertram asked if the City was reimbursed by developers for publishing
legal notices.
Mr. Kirkpatrick said that the expense is supposed to be covered by the application fee.
He explained that the fee schedule would be updated soon to ensure that all costs are
accounted for.
Council Member Bertram asked about the expense for a picture.
Mr. Kirkpatrick explained that it was the going away gift for Amanda Kirkpatrick.
Mayor Eimers asked why the compensation time worksheet looked different.

Lutheran Church.
Mr. Kirkpatrick clarified that the total payment for the settlement agreement was
$44,400.
Council Member Robertson asked if a written bid was received from Lake Fork Fence.
Rick Harvey said that a written bid had been received. He explained that the contractor
had to revise the initial bid amount by $1500 after they reviewed the FAA specifications.

AB 05-170 Addendum to City Prosecutor Agreement
Mr. Kirkpatrick explained that at the end of June, Larry Dunn had requested an
amendment to his contract as the City Prosecutor. He explained that the amendment
would increase the annual compensation to $45,000 per year. He said that the City
budgeted for the increased amount in the Fiscal Year 2006 budget.
Council Member Robertson moved to approve the Addendum to the City
Prosecutor Agreement and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
Council Member Bertram seconded the motion. In a roll call vote, Council
Member Greer, Council Member Robertson, Mayor Eimers, and Council Member
Bertram voted aye. The motion carried.
AB 05-171 Amendment to Performance Agreement with Chad Olsen
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the Council approved a performance agreement in March
with Chad Olsen the developer of Timbercrest Subdivision, Timbercrest Downtown, and
Pine Meadows. He explained that the agreement was for the developer to perform
sewer line repairs on Lake Street in exchange for the ability to connect a number of
equivalent dwelling units. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the addendum would allow Mr.
Olsen to use the number of hookups on other projects besides the Timbercrest
Downtown project. He explained that the reason for the request stems from the
building permit ranking system. He said that Mr. Olsen's Timbercrest Downtown project
would score high in the ranking system where his other projects may not. Mr.
Kirkpatrick stated that the request is being made so Mr. Olsen would be able to secure
building permits for his other projects.
Council Member Robertson said that the wording in the addendum would eliminate
several important provisions in section 6 of the existing contract such as not allowing
commercial food service industry in the development until the sewer system is
upgraded. He asked if staff really thought the downtown project would be completed.
He stated that the City wants to promote commercial development but should realize
that the project may not be completed.
Bill Nichols, City Attorney, asked if Council Member Robertson would be comfortable
replacing the first sentence in the existing performance agreement with the verbiage in
the addendum and keeping the remaining provisions. Council Member Robertson
agreed that this change would accomplish this.
Mayor Eimers asked when staff thought that the work on the downtown project would
begin.

City Council Minutes
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that he didn't know but that Mr. Olsen had submitted a bond for
the project.
Dan Irwin, City Clerk, clarified that Mr. Olsen had actually submitted an irrevocable
letter of credit for the project.
Council Member Bertram said that she would be more comfortable waiting until the
project is closer to completion. She asked how many projects Mr. Olsen had
completed.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the Pine Meadows project was complete but he wasn't sure
about Timbercrest Subdivision.
Betsy Roberts, CH2MHILL, said that they were approached by Brett Walker who said
that they feel stuck under the current agreement. She said that CH2MHILL haven't
seen the construction drawings for the sewer repair, and recommends that the Council
wait on approving the amendment until they are submitted to the City for review.
Council Member Robertson moved to table the amendment to the performance
agreement with Chad Olsen until the City Engineer and Public Works Department
have reviewed the sewer repair plans and they are able to provide input to the
Council. Council Member Bertram seconded the motion.
Mayor Eimers said that he is concerned that work hasn't begun on the sewer repair
project. He asked if the only recourse the City had was to call upon the bond. He said
that the State is planning on redoing Highway 55 next year and the City had already
pushed the project back and rebudgeted the money that was originally earmarked for
the improvements.
Council Member Robertson said that the Council should table taking action on the
proposed amendment until the City Engineer is able to review the construction plans.
Mayor Eimers said that he doesn't like to rely upon bonds as guarantees. He said that
the process takes a long time due to the involvement with the court system.
Mr. Nichols said that there is a difference in collecting upon an irrevocable letter of
credit and a bond. He said that the irrevocable letter of credit is preferable for the City's
interests as it is easier to collect on and doesn't have to go through the legal process.
Mr. Nichols asked if the Council would like to have a revised agreement at the next
meeting.
Council Member Robertson said that they would as long as the construction plans are
submitted to staff.
In a voice vote, the motion carried 4-0-0.

AB 05-172 Wastewater Planning and Engineering Update
Betsy Roberts provided a handout detailing the current task orders being conducted by
CH2MHILL. She explained that the firm has been busy doing development reviews and
that they held a chartering session with the City Departments and committees a month
ago. Ms. Roberts said that the I&l project that was discussed at the last Council
meeting is proceeding. She said that the firm hopes to publish an advertisement for bid
in the coming week, with the bid opening scheduled for September 22nd.
Council Member Robertson asked if the firm was able to get an update on the new
technology that is being used to make I&l repairs.
Ms. Roberts stated that members of the team held a meeting and were able to get
updated on the new technological advances.
Council Member Bertram asked if the City would be able to add additional EDU's in the
calculation of the building permit allocations when the fall project is completed.
Ms. Roberts said that the completion of the project would potentially allow the City to
issue more building permits. She clarified that the fall I&l project would not add a
significant number of additional EDU's but the Olsen project would. She stated that the
firm would have to wait until the Spring of 2006 to arrive at an estimate for the
additional number of EDU's that would be made available.
Council Member Bertram stated that Resolution 05-15 allows the Council to refine the
number of EDU's used in determining the annual building permit allocation.
Ms. Roberts said that the intent of the resolution's language is to make a refinement
after more data is collected about the entire sewer system.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that staff would make a presentation to the Council as soon as
the firm is able to quantify the improvements to the sewer system.
Ms. Roberts said that CH2MHILL would give a report to the Council when the I&l
project is complete. She stated that the City would probably gain more EDU's for
allocation when the firm refines the numbers that were used in the capacity
assumptions than would be added from the I&l repairs.
Rick Bishop, CH2MHILL, explained that he has been working on multiple task orders
related to the wastewater treatment system. He explained that the work is progressing
and the goal is to finish the review of the capacity assumptions by the end of
September. Mr. Bishop said that they hope to be able to update the number of EDU's
for allocation after the review of the capacity assumptions is complete.

Mr. Bishop reported that the City was successful in draining the J-Ditch pond during the
irrigation season.
Ms. Roberts said that the next task order being worked on by the firm is the
development of a Parks Master Plan. She said that representatives would be in McCall
to meet with the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee during the next week. She
said that the goal is to complete the plan development by the end of September. Ms.
Roberts said that the team would be meeting with the public and Urban Renewal
Agency all next week for the Urban Renewal Plan update. Ms. Roberts said that work is
proceeding on the potential convention center. She said that the team met with
representative from the Hotel McCall and are in the process of updating a technical
memorandum to the feasibility study that was done in 2002. Ms. Roberts said that task
order number ten is the Lick Creek flow-monitoring project. She said that the firm didn't
receive any bids for the project, but a contractor had contacted them and expressed
interest after the bid closing. She said that the State's new procurement rules may
allow them to proceed without re-bidding the project.
Ms. Roberts explained that the firm had completed a field visit to Rio Vista to begin the
work for the Rio Vista LID. She said that they had just begun to review Holladay
Engineering's data on the project.
Council Member Bertram asked about the structure on the corner of Rio Vista and
Boydstun Street.
Mr. Keating explained that it was one of the Sewer District's flow meter vaults.
Ms. Roberts said that the next task order is the development of a facility plan. She said
that John Larson interviewed staff and had established some draft findings that were
forwarded to staff for review. Ms. Roberts said that the CH2MHILL GIS team had met
with staff and were moving forward with the GIS development.
Council Member Robertson asked when the new City Planner would begin.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that Michelle Groenevelt would begin as the new City Planner on
September 12th.
Ms Roberts explained the firm has also been tasked with analyzing Lift Station #7. She
said that the firm would begin the fieldwork on the lift station in the coming week and
would be exploring all options when they begin analyzing the issue. Ms. Roberts said
that the next task order is the zoning code rewrite. She said that their review of the
proposed code is complete and the process is moving forward.

Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the initial review was performed by the former City Attorney.
He said that Mr. Nichols would review the proposed code at the next step in the
process.
Payment Approval List for Warrant Registers dated August 13, 2005
Council Member Robertson stated that he would recuse himself from the vote.
Mayor Eimers moved to approve the payment approval list for warrant registers
dated August 13, 2005. Council Member Greer seconded the motion. In a roll call
vote, Council Member Bertram voted nay, Council Member Greer and Mayor
Eimers voted aye. The motion carried 2-1-1.
AB 05-176 Seasonal Allocation of Building Permits
Council Member Bertram stated that she thought that the building permit allocation
process should be revised so the building permits that are currently scheduled for
allocation in the winter months be allocated in the fall instead. She said that the
revision would make sense, as it is difficult to build in the winter months.
Mr. Kirkpatrick explained that the current building permit allocation was developed
based upon the City's historic data of issuing building permits. He explained that the
current process would issue 4 permits in December, I permit in January, and no
permits in February. He said that the current allocation process already assumes that
the number of issued permits would taper off during the winter.
Council Member Bertram said that she feels that the number of permits designated for
issuance in October and November are too high.
Council Member Robertson stated that Council Member Bertram is suggesting that the
City release all 49 remaining permits in the next month since them is still a part of the
building season left. He said that he read Mr. Millar's report and believes that some of
the applicants have learned how to manipulate the system to their advantage. He said
that the City needs to be sum to take care of everyone and not just those that have
learned how to manipulate the system to their advantage.
Council Member Bertram said that she heard concerns from some people who lost their
financing or contractor because of being held up in the building permit allocation
process.
Council Member Robertson said that the moratorium would be discussed at the next
Council meeting. He stated that he felt the competition for building permits would
increase when some or part of the restrictions are lifted.

City Council Minutes
Mayor Eimers stated that the Council would hear complaints regardless of the
allocation. He said that someone who doesn't get a permit in November would have
the same problem as those who didn't receive their permit in August.
Council Member Bertram said that she would like to see the number of permits issued
in October and November to be reallocated.
Council Member Robertson stated that he would like to see more data before making a
change in the allocation process.
Council Member Bertram asked if the City could add a preference on the evaluation
ranking form for local workers. She stated that she would like to guarantee a building
permit to a local worker in order to help solve the City's housing problem.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that a local worker currently has the option to deed restrict their
home as community housing in order to increase their points on the evaluation form.
Council Member Bertram stated that she would like to see a nurse or teacher be able to
get a building permit without deed restricting their property. She said that the current
program is cost prohibitive as a local worker can't afford the expense of paying the in
lieu fees. Council Member Bertram stated that the City needs to encourage local
workers to build in the community.
Mr. Nichols said that he has a concern about equal protection if such an initiative was
proposed. He explained that establishing a residency preference could possibly lead to
legal repercussions. He stated that he needs to research the possibility further
because of the equal protection clause.
Council Member Bertram stated that the comprehensive plan is geared towards the
community worker, which establishes a legal precedence. She said that it is unfair for
the City not to issue a building permit to a person who can't afford the additional $9,000
to pay into the program. Council Member Bertram said that the community has taken a
stand and the City needs to protect the community worker.
Council Member Robertson requested that Mr. Nichols further research the issue and
advise the Council about his findings.
Mr. Kirkpatrick said that another issue to think about is how a local worker is defined.
He explained that there are a lot of occasions where the property owner is also builder
and constructs the house as a spec home.
Council Member Bertram stated that she would like to see preference given to
professional workers such as nurses and teachers and not speculation builders.

Mr. Kirkpatrick explained that local residents are also building spec homes in the
community.
Council Member Robertson stated that the City could establish a time period that would
require the builder to pay into the community housing program if the dwelling sold within
a certain time period.
Mayor Eimers said that he agrees with Council Member Bertram. He said that the City
is trying to develop a community-housing program but should encourage local workers
who can build a home in the existing market.
Council Member Robertson said that he also agrees. He said that some individuals
may be able to build a home cheaper than buying an existing home in the market.
Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that it is important that the City is careful to not create a problem
when fixing another.
Mayor Eimers said that he agreed. He said that the Council should let staff have time
to research the implications of establishing a local worker preference.
Mr. Kirkpatrick reported that two of the building permits that were allocated for August
haven't been picked up. He explained that if the permits aren't picked up by September
9, 2005, they would be issued to the next highest ranking applications.
Mr. Millar clarified that six or seven permits actually need to be picked up by the 9th. He
explained that a letter was mailed to all the successful applicants and Carrie Rushby
followed up with them in a phone call. Mr. Millar said that he has found that some of
the applicants would not be able to complete their buildings within the required time
period and probably would not purchase the permit.
Council Member Robertson asked Mr. Millar how he felt the allocation process was
going.
Mr. Millar said that the only problem that he has encountered so far has been with the
sustainability points. He said that the current ranking process awards 5 points for
energy star rated buildings and 10 points for LEED certified buildings. Mr. Millar said
that he thinks the process should be changed to award 10 points for both. He
explained that energy star certification is geared towards residential while LEED
certification is more commercially oriented.
Council Member Bertram asked if the community had an inspector that could certify the
rankings.
Mr. Millar said that two people in the City are certified to perform the inspections.
explained the benefits of the program and added that the comprehensive
promotes sustainability.

Council Member Bertram asked why the year 2000 was chosen for the prior plat bonus
points.
Mr. Millar explained that he chose 2000 as the date as it covered most of the infill
developments in the City. He explained that in 2000 was when the number of
development applications really increased. Mr. Millar clarified that under the current
process nobody is being denied a building permit. He explained that some people are
simply being delayed in when they get one.
Mayor Eimers said that the Council would be seeing more and more people voicing
their concerns over the allocation method. He said that the Council needs to learn how
to cope through the transition process.
Council Member Robertson moved to amend the Building Permit Evaluation and
Ranking Form to allow 10 points for a residential project with Energy Star
certification. Mayor Eimers seconded the motion. In a voice vote, the motion
carried 4-0-0.
Mr. Kirkpatrick reported that the Urban Renewal Design would be conducted during the
next week. He stated that they would be hosting an open house on Wednesday and

the Department hired Robert Price to fill the open position. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that
Jim Poole resigned as the maintenance person and the position was filled by Joni
Noble. He explained that she would be performing maintenance work at City Hall and
with the Parks Department. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that Michelle Groenevelt would begin
her position as the City Planner on September 12th. He said that the golf course is now
down to 4 full-time and 1 part-time seasonal employees and the Parks Department is
down to 3 full-time seasonal employees. Mr. Kirkpatrick stated that the City received an
offer of a public art donation by a new business in the City. He explained that the offer
was for a totem pole and said that it would be moving forward for Council approval. Mr.
Kirkpatrick stated that the City received 15 applications for the Finance Director's
position and he would be beginning the interview process soon. He said that Council
Member Robertson would be involved in the process. Mr. Kirkpatrick said that 40
applications have been received for the Police Chief position. He said that he would be
